So, I would like to own some earphones as they are really portable and nice to wear if you go around with the laptop compared to my huge Sennheiser 280HD Pro headphones, or just listening with an ipod/portable mp3. I would like something that allows you to produce electronic DNB oriented music decently (not something that extremly colours the mix), and at the same time that makes for an awesome listening. I want to show to my mates how DNB really sounds, and I can't since my current earphones are the mediocre 30€ ones everyone has, and doesn't give a powerful bass response and crisp highs, so listening to that music is not as exciting and just pointless.
I dont have much idea about the earphone market, but i've considered this ones so far:
Sennheiser cx400: Seen some reviews here, and some dude talking about them start to lose power, and actually getting the left channel totally muted after 2, 3 months, and same again after getting a replacement. That doesn't make me comfortable.
AKG K-324P Cromo: I have no idea since I couldn't find any reviews for this one, but afaik AKG is a respected brand.
Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 Pro Extended Bass:

Someone mentioned these as "the ultimate DNB earphones". All reviews i've heard talk very good about this, only i've heard that wearing them for long periods of time can be a bit annoying because of that huge sort of mini-subwoofer thing (not because of the sub sound, but because of the size of it). Anyone can confirm on this? Also, im all about the bass, but I fear this is just coloured subbass and not actual raw subbass power that doesn't mud the mix. Well I hope is the former because these ****ers are kinda pricey (they go up to around 200€, so I would need to be really convinced to do it).
I would appreciate reviews from actual owners of these. Thanks in advance.
